What two numbers multiply to 874 and add up to 61?

Here we answer the question: "What two numbers multiply to 874 and add up to 61?"

The answer to your question is:

23 and 38

Below we illustrate and prove that 23 and 38 multiply to 874 and add up to 61:

23 × 38 = 874
23 + 38 = 61

Are you asking because you are trying to figure out how to factor the following quadratic equation?

x² + 61x + 874 = 0

If so, the solution to factor the quadratic equation above is:

(x + 23 ) (x + 38)

To summarize, since 23 and 38 multiply to 874 and add up 61, you know that the following is true:

x² + 61x + 874 = (x + 23 ) (x + 38)
